Many Americans are still wannabes, extending youth ministry technologies to the young adult population.

Steiger International is dedicated to bringing the love of Jesus Christ to the darkest corners of secular society and to discipling the global youth culture." Starting in Amsterdam,
Steiger is aggressively planting ministries in Europe and has a branch in Massachusetts as well. Generous downloadable resources. Hard edge. Big social conscience. (Posted 7/8/02)

Fellowship-Zurich. Its a gospel movement! (Posted 7/8/02)

The Jesus Freaks Intenational sponsor this one. Heavily into the Christian festival scene. Another Euro-innovation, although there are some US samples. Check out the Jesus Freaks at http://jesusfreak.com/
